In Their Own Words

[Jermyn Davidson]

This article angers me more than anything!

As bad as a decision the Iraq war was, the effects of that bad decision are so far reaching!

Jermyn, that is horrible. We are dealing with a situation ourselves with a young man who was deployed. He is very troubled and I just pray that there is something that will help him.
I know that war is sometimes inevitable. I know that you recognize that as well. I just think that it is a decision that has to be right...one of the few things that we absolutely cannot afford to be wrong about or allow ulterior motives to affect. Precisely because the price is so high in the short term and in the long term. It can dramatically shape and change the landscapes of countless families for generations.

How many stories, like what's described in the link, exist for Americans?

Does reading the text of that story help to make YOU rethink your decision concerning the necessity and/or "justice" of the Iraq War?

(presuming you thought it was necessary and "just" before reading the text)
